The disease has【C3】______with the spread of AIDS and drug-resistant forms of tuberculosis.
Current treatments take at least six months. People have to【C4】______a combination of several antibiotic drugs daily. But many people stop【C5】______they feel better.

选项
A、as if
B、as though
C、as far as
D、as soon as
答案
D
解析
答题时请注意句首的But这个词,显然与上句意思发生转折,而四个选项中as if、as though都是“仿佛,宛如”的意思,as far as则是“至于……,就……而言”的意思,填在这里均不合适,只有as soon as(“一……就……”)才恰当。
